Rise & Raise brought to you by TriCounty Chamber of Commerce
In early winter of 2017, the TriCounty Community Network (TCN) set forward a goal of helping local nonprofit organizations increase their fundraising and organizational awareness through a regional one day giving campaign.  The result was a movement the organization named The Amazing Raise.  The idea was to provide local nonprofit organizations with the opportunity to raise funds, both online and in person, with the promise of a proportional funding match based on the amount raised.  “We not only wanted to support our community nonprofit organizations in their fundraising efforts, but we also wanted to promote a spirit of philanthropy in our region,” said Holly Parker, Executive Director of TCN.  “Through the Amazing Raise we generated a level of excitement and fostered a movement that will have lasting impacts on the organizations providing services in our community.”  The fundraising goal for the Amazing Raise was $50,000.  In October 2017 the Greater Pottstown Community generosity shined, smashing the original goal by raising over $100,000 for nonprofit organizations providing services in our region.  The 2018 event raised more than $335,000 for our community!  The movement and momentum continue for 2019!  October 15^th is our 2019 Amazing Raise Day.  Beginning September 1^st and leading up to October 15^th, local nonprofit organizations will raise funds to be proportionally matched by the Amazing Raise.
